We are still waiting on official confirmation that the TOWIE bunch will be back for a Christmas special and after the chaos of last year's episode and the drama from the most recent season, surely the ITV bosses know it's necessary.
There is so much happening in the world of Essex at the moment and that's not even touching on the fact that The GC recently holidayed with Harry Debridge. We know she'd never rock up on TOWIE again but just imagine if she did. JUST IMAGINE.
Anyway, one of the main storylines that would surely be addressed in The Only Way is Essexmas is the unexpected feud between former besties, Ella Rae Wise and Freddie Bentley.
The frenemies were pals way before Freddie joined the structured reality TV show but have recently fallen out, over what? God only knows.
Amid whatever is going on between the two of them - and we do wonder if it has anything to do with the Chloe Lewis x Dan Edgar rumoured romance - in a recent Instagram Q&A, Freddie has opened up about how he currently feels.
One follower asked him, 'How do you stay so positive? x.'
'Positivity isn't about being happy all the time - it's about perspective,' he replied, 'I've done a lot of inner work and healing, and daily gratitude has been huge for me. Taking a few minutes to reflect each day really makes you.'
Neither Ella or Freddie have fully addressed the reason behind their fall out; there has just been a lot of passive aggressive quotes, subtle digs and mention of 'break ups' with the other's name perhaps being hinted at.
Freddie and Saffron Lempriere briefly spoke about it when they were guests on the Saving Grace podcast and Ella recently referenced a 'weird af' break up, but to be fair that could be about Dan.
See, this is why we need to the Christmas special to return, surely it would all be revealed in the festive episode.
